ESCAPING A LANDFILL FUTURE, these amazing science fiction inspired sculptures are made from everyday objects. From robots to insects, the electronic figures are compiled from a collection of old household electrical items. The creative robotic sculptures were made by American graphic designer and photographer Larry Wong, of Pomona, California, after his fascination with electronics led him to create these complicated robots. The 38 year old, who calls his creations 'Mechanoids', says: “I take junk that would otherwise go into a landfill and turn it into art."
